Ayy I’m dying to join the beta. Will there be an application / how will the signup process work? I assume it’s a closed beta, right?
Edit: Seems like I might be a month late...
Sorry, yes it's already established

DEC 12 2018 : HOUSEKEEPING
Getting everything ready to start the beta run. Cleaning up the code, fine tuning of the components, closing pending tasks. You may find that our change log gets updated almost daily.
So I think I can see it soon, is it?Is it before Christmas?
That would be a huge surprise！！！
We have no idea how long the beta run will be. Before Christmas is very unlikely. Q1 2019 is more likely.

XEnviro isn't using the particle system. It is noise rendered volumetrics. Vulcan won't be a revolution for XEnviro but it will help on general performance. Same goes for DLSS but we won't be doing work on that this time around.
We are not waiting ting for 11.30 either. XEnviro is not dependent on it and will release when finished regardless.

It's possible. But this is noise rendered volumetrics. A whole other ballgame. Your computer can't handle it.

The clouds are nice but, this just ruins everything for me. When I fly over green areas in overcast at cruise altitude, the whole bottom of my plane is green.
Well too bad. Your computer will not be able to do it this time around.

A lot more cloud types than towering cb's btw

And yeah, those misplaced palm trees look cold.. Someone better dress them up.---> PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT <---
(regarding xEnviro seasons)It will be a free update in one of the upcoming updates of xEnviro. There is a reason why it's free. While it looks great and behaves as it should it has one issue that will make or break your usage of it. There will be an option to turn seasons off in the menus if you prefer other season addons. What is the deal you ask? Snow covers everything. Ground and objects. That also means static aircraft. This will be mended down the road but that update is far in the future close to xE 2.0. So there you have it - now you know.

Before I got into flightsimming I would never have imagined how upset people could get over the colours of the sky...
I look at the evening sky every day from my home office window and I have seen so many different skies that I wouldn't dare declare one of them "THE" exact evening sky. How much it changes from one day to the other is rather impressive and most likely very difficult to recreate in a PC simulation environment. Just my 2 cents.
This is what xEnviro recreates. Or at least tries to to a large extent. Dependent on the weather and location data xEnviro presents the sky there after. Every evening or morning (which the screenshots show) will be different.

XEnviro is capable of mimicking any effect you observe in reality and to any level of fidelity you want. Your computer is not.
There will be grain artifacts up close in the volumetric clouds. That is a trade off. Many features are plainly not manageable by your system. This is real time volumetric noise rendering from close proximity to horizon. It's like trying to fit a nuclear power plant in to a shoe box.
The seasons addon won't be perfect either. Hence the free upgrade to seasons. But we believe that the jump to volumetrics is worth every compromise we have to make at this stage.

Believe me - when we have something new we will show it. So if it has not been shown yet it's basically not ready yet.
